Speaking with People, she recalled watching Zac Efron's heart wrenching recent movie The Iron Claw, which tells the real life story of the Von Erich brothers, and confessed: "The two of us were sobbing," before adding: "It was just a disaster of crying and then laughing at each other for crying, which made us cry even harder."
